The Story Behind This Song

A man who hung up his spurs after years on the rodeo circuit, and the dog who's been by his side ever since — both of them slower now, both of them at peace.

This song also appears in a different mix on the UNLEASHED album as “Spurs”.

Lyrics

I hung my spurs up years ago
After one too many rodeos
Eight-second rides and busted ribs
Crowd lights bright and whiskey thick
Barroom dust and barbed wire nights
I swung hard and I lived that life
He was ridin’ shotgun back then too
Head out the window, sky so blue

Me and my dog
We’ve both slowed down
Spurs on the wall
Ain’t ridin’ now
Rocking chair and a summer breeze
His tail keeps time at my feet
Let that whole world roll on by
Me and my dog

These hands that turned them wrenches tight
Once balled up ready to fight
Truck beds, beer cans, midnight calls
Young and mean and bulletproof tall
Now there’s a Bible by that chair
Shotgun leaning easy there
Sun drops slow behind that field
This kind of peace feels real

Grey in his muzzle, grey in my chin
Every line tells where we’ve been

Me and my dog
We’ve both slowed down
Spurs on the wall
Ain’t ridin’ now
Rocking chair and a summer breeze
His tail keeps time at my feet
Let that whole world roll on by
Me and my dog

He used to chase that mailman truck
Guard this road like it was his luck
Now he does that slow stretch stand
Like he understands
I pick that old guitar at dusk
His tail thumps steady in the hush
Sun sinks low behind that field
We’ve both had more than our fill

Me and my dog
We’ve both slowed down
Spurs on the wall
Ain’t ridin’ now
His tail keeps time at my feet
Let that whole world roll on by
Me and my dog (Me and my dog, me and my dog)
